The Vermont Cynic

The Vermont Cynic is the award-winning, editorially-independent student newspaper of the University of Vermont (UVM). The Cynic has been published since 1883 (as The University Cynic). Up until 1985, The Cynic was published using movable type. The Cynic has been published online since 2001. In November 2020 it paused publication of print issues, citing low readership due to COVID-19,[1] and resumed traditional print publication beginning in December 2021. It distributes print copies every week to various locations on campus.
